Now open, Disney's Art of Animation Resort invites your family to become a part of beloved animated films! Here, you can stay in a family suite inspired by the DisneyPixar films Finding Nemo and Cars, as well as the Walt Disney film The Lion King.

You can also stay in standard rooms inspired by the Walt Disney film The Little Mermaid. Standard rooms sleep up to 4, while suites sleep up to 6 and provide just the right amount of extra room that many families need to spread out in comfort.

Throughout your vacation, your family will be surrounded by some of your favorite stories. From the themed family suites and rooms to the spectacular courtyards, this new Walt Disney World Value Resort will immerse families in 4 wonderful "worlds"-for a colorful journey through the story of each film..

Complimentary Wi-Fi service is now available in all Walt Disney World Resort hotels. Guests will now be able to access complimentary Wi-Fi in their rooms as well as in select common areas within the resort hotel, including restaurant locations, bus load zones, feature pools, arcades, convention spaces (if applicable) and the porte cochere.

Disney Hotel Resort guests also enjoy their Extra Magic Hours Benefit. On select days, Disney Resort hotel guests can enter a Disney Theme Park an hour early-and on select evenings, enjoy a Park up to two hours after regular closing time. That's when lines may be shorter and the weather can be more comfortable. Guests have time for a midday break or a dip in the pool. Then the gang will be ready to head back to the same Theme Park for more fun! Don't forget your Magic Your Way Tickets with Park Hopper Option! The Park Hopper option is the only way you will be able to fully enjoy the Extra Magic Hours Benefit when the extra hours in the morning is a different Disney theme park than the extra hours in the evening.

Disney Hotel Resort guests receive complimentary Disney's Magical Express Service for roundtrip airport shuttle from Orlando International Airport, luggage delivery and airline check in*.

Nice Piece of Disney For A Couple

This was our bazillionth time to WDW but our first staying "on property". Hotel staff was excellent from the moment we arrived, very helpful and knowledgeable. The room decor was themed from the walls and beds to the dresser and bathroom tile. Although it was basically a motel bedroom, Disney Imagineering hit all the details with this little place. The hotel itself was somewhere between a value & moderate resort by theming standards, and the Landscape of Flavors food court really did have choices for everyone from different cultural backgrounds. Just a few minutes' drive to 3 of the 4 theme parks and Downtown Disney, close to everything & convenient. Eventhough we weren't traveling with children, it did bring out the kid in us & we did find it somewhat romantic as well, despite being a family-friendly spot. I would gladly recommend this place to anyone & would choose this again for my next Disney adventure.
